I had been close with Bellamy Blake growing up, to the point where he trusted me enough to introduce me to his sister they kept hidden. We had all become close, I would do anything for the two. The day I found out Octavia had been caught; I was devastated. I had an episode. I went pyscho and ended up killing the guard that floated their mother, after all, she was kind of like my own. This led me to being thrown into a cell myself. The last thing I expected from all this was to be sent to the ground, a second chance. I was more than happy when I saw not only Octavia but Bellamy too, I knew I would be fine with them here.
After the incident with Octavia getting attacked by the snake, I helped her clean up the wound, Bellamy right beside us. "What the hell was it?" Bellamy had an angered expression on his face as he held his sisters hand allowing her to squeeze it whenever she felt the pain.
"I don't know. The others said it looked like a giant snake."
"How did a snake make this bite?" I questioned, considering the size of the bite it was near impossible for a normal snake to do that.
"Emphasis on the giant." I sent the girl a glare as I pressed a slight bit harder on her wound causing her to let out a cry of pain.
"Don't sass me."
"You could've been killed-"
"She would've been if Jasper didn't jump in to pull her out." Clarke and Wells walked over to us with two separate back packs.
"You guys leaving? I'm coming too-"
"No, no. No way. Not again." Bellamy was quick to cut off Octavia's personal invitation at joining the search party.
"He's right. You're legs just gonna slow us down. I'm here for you." Clarke pauses and looks over at me. "You too." She turns back around to face Bellamy. "I hear you have a gun. Follow me."
"And why would I do that?" Clarke looks surprised at Bellamy's rejection. I would've said no too, if it wasn't for the fact that we had limited people down here and everyone was important in their own way. We'd never survive if we were all killed off.
"Hey, don't worry. I'm sure there isn't something nearly as fun as what you can do here." I sat down next to Octavia as I waited for their conversation to be over.
"Sure, if you're idea of fun is sitting in the dirt and playing with sticks." Octavia's sarcastic replies, you gotta love them.
"Atom. My sister doesn't leave this camp. Is that clear? Anybody touches her they answer to me-"
"Me too." I butt in. I send the two boys a smile before walking off in the direction of which Clarke and Wells went off in.
"Wait up! Can't have you dying on me either." Bellamy grabs ahold of my shoulder and pulls me back so I'm walking in line with him and Murphy. "I'm getting that wristband, even if I have to cut off her hand to do it."
"Sounds like fun. When do we do it?" Bellamy shakes his head at my reply. "C'mon Bellamy. I've been in lockup for the past two years and suddenly you're a party pooper, what gives?" Bellamy marches of a head leaving Murphy and I to walk at the back, so much for wanting me to stick with him.
"What got you in lock up?" This was the first time I would be having a conversation with Murphy, and I couldn't deny that the boy had quite the looks on him.
"Oh, you know, the usual." I look over at him to see his eyebrow raised in a questioning manor. "Murder." He appears shocked before sending me a bright smile.
"Pleasant."
"Hey! Hold up." Bellamy was currently waving his gun around in the air like a mad man as we caught up to Clarke and Wells. "What's the rush? You don't survive a spear through the heart."
"Put the gun away Bellamy."
"Why don't you do something about it?" Murphy steps up to Wells in a challenging act as he shoves him backwards.
"Jasper screamed when they moved him. If the spear struck his heart, he'd have died instantly. Doesn't mean we have time to waste."
"As soon as you take this wristband off, we can go."
"The only way the Ark is gonna think I'm dead, is if I'm dead." I liked the way that this girl didn't back down from a fight or let alone Bellamy.
"Brave princess."
"Why don't you find your own nickname?" We all turned around to see Finn walking over to us. "You call this a recue party? Gotta split up, cover more ground. Clarke, come with me." The two walk off leaving me alone with everyone else.
"You sure I can't cut off her hand?"
"Sadly not. Wells, you're with me. Murphy, if she gets hurt, you'll be paying the price." Bellamy's protective side was beginning to shine through a lot more than usual, I'm not surprised though with everything going on and now with the fact that there is other people out there.
"I'm sure she can handle herself." Murphy replied, this caused Bellamy stopped walking.
"Murphy."
"Yes boss. I'll make sure she comes back in one piece" Murphy said in a sarcastic tone. He then proceeded to salute to Bellamy and finally we were able to walk off without being stopped.
"He's awfully protective, don't you think?"
"He always has been. Besides, him and Octavia are all I have left." I was honestly surprised the day I ended up in a cell, I expected the Ark to go against their own rules and float me then there. Instead, they treated me like I was a crazy sick person who needed severe help, not that they ever tried hard enough to help me. "What about you?"
"What about me?"
"You're protective of Bellamy." He seemed confused at my observation.
"I'm not protective of Bellamy. I couldn't care less if he ended up dead."
"My bad. You're just his bitch." I laughed. This comment earned me a glare as he playfully shoved my shoulder. "I'm telling. You could have hurt me." I dramatically held onto my arm in the spot where he shoved me.
"I would never hurt you." I make eye contact with Murphy and something about his eyes reel me in, I couldn't help but stare, my eyes never wanting to leave his, that was until I walked into a tree. I cried in the sharp pain I felt in my nose as I held on to it tightly. I could hear from behind me that Murphy was laughing, and I felt myself smile.
"Whatever you two are doing back there knock it off." Bellamy called from up a head.
"Murphy shoved me into a tree." I replied.
"He what?"
What a fun day.
